Thorny Little Servicing Question...
Discussion
Hi All,
I've got a peculiar one that I need some impartial advice on.
I've got a lovely 2004 Ardent red (hard topped) 111s that's done just 23,000 miles.
The car when first owned was kept in storage for quite a few years (6 I think), then was bought by the second owner who drove it for a bit and then sold it to me.
The car itself has only ever had 4 services, the first one at 1600 miles or so, the second at about 8500 the third (a C service + belts) at 12500 miles and the last one when I bought it at 19500 miles. The next service in the book is due at 36,000 miles but at this rate it won't be due for another 2 years (I'm only doing about 5,000 miles per year). Should I continue servicing it annually or do I wait 2 years and get it done then.. If I do get it serviced at say 25000 miles (in a couple months when it's due) due I get the garage to stamp the book or not bother?
I'll be getting it done at an independent garage anyway as B&C want 3 times what they'll charge me for what is basically an oil and filters service.
